Today I added a Facebook Page to my online presence, which should show up on the right hand side of this current homepage. In all honesty, I’m not really sure what a ‘facebook page’ is or what it’s meant to be used for. But I noticed it was there, so I thought I’d give it a go. It may disappear, it may not even be there at all – who knows?

I like to try these new things, I’ve always found when learning something new that I expect to be able to get it right straight away. But of course, that isn’t ever going to happen! Sometimes it’s good to sit back with a cup of tea and actually read the tutorials, and practice before ‘going live’.

My original intention today was to open an Instagram account to put some photos on. But if I understand it correctly I need a smart phone rather than a laptop? I have a mobile phone, but it definitely isn’t smart! It just sends texts and I can use it to talk to people! Twitter also seems meant for the smart phone. Maybe I should just get a smart phone? But the screens are so small, so I’d need to budget for reading glasses as well as the phone.

Which is why I ended up making a Facebook page. I didn’t really mean to do that, but we’ll see how it goes and hopefully it’ll add something to my ‘online presence’!

Me at school, where I enjoyed such things as writing with a pen and reading a book.

On the plus side I think I should give myself a pat on the back for even being able to switch a computer on. When you were born before computers were invented it’s been a very steep learning curve for us!

I’ve tried to ‘like’ this but it is asking me for a username and password which I don’t have!! So I’ll ‘like’ it in this comment box!! Oh dear, this technology is far beyond me. Bring back pen and paper!
